About 471 Forbes Street
Welcome to 471 Forbes Street in East Hartford-a well-cared-for home that blends thoughtful updates with everyday convenience. As soon as you walk into this home you will feel the warmth, with a large living room that greets you with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Completing the first floor is a dining room, kitchen, and a huge full bath with a conveniently closeted washer and dryer for easy, single-level living. Lovingly maintained by the same family for the past 8 years, this property offers peace of mind with major improvements already completed. The roof is just 5 years old and built to last with a 50-year lifespan, while the newer siding enhances both curb appeal and durability.

The kitchen flows into a dedicated mudroom, ideal for keeping things organized, and opens to a dining room that could easily be converted into a first-floor bedroom if desired.
